Himalaya Tulasi 60 tablets - holy basil, immunity, breathing

Himalaya Tulasi - 60 tablets with holy basil extract

Himalaya Tulasi is a single-ingredient preparation: each tablet contains only the extract from the aerial parts of Ocimum sanctum, known in India as tulasi. The manufacturer declares 250 mg of this extract in one tablet, and the package contains 60 tablets. The entire active ingredient is contained in this one extract. Himalaya describes the formula as 100% vegetarian and free from sugar, artificial colors, artificial flavors, and preservatives. Note the phrase “aerial parts”. The manufacturer describes the raw material as the entire above-ground part of the plant, not just the leaf - and since tulasi preparations can be made from various parts of the plant, this line clarifies what you have in your hand. Exact values and allergen information can be found on the package label.

Ingredients

• Extract from the aerial parts of Ocimum sanctum (tulasi, holy basil) - 250 mg per tablet
• Excipients needed for tablet compression
• Sugar-free - manufacturer declaration
• Free from artificial colors and artificial flavors - manufacturer declaration
• Free from preservatives - manufacturer declaration
• 100% vegetarian formula - manufacturer declaration

Holy basil is a plant from the mint family, related to the common basil known from Mediterranean cuisine, but it is a separate species with a different aromatic profile and different uses. In India, it is grown near homes and temples, and in Ayurvedic tradition, it is called tulasi. The commercial name “holy basil” that you will find on English-language products refers to exactly the same species. Himalaya lists the raw material as aerial parts, meaning the entire plant above ground, and states this directly on the product card - along with the Latin name, this provides two pieces of information that clarify what is in the package. When comparing brands, start with these, and treat the number of milligrams as a secondary criterion, not the primary one.

How to use

Himalaya provides one scheme for adult users on the product card:

• 1-2 tablets twice a day or as directed by a physician
• Swallow the tablet whole, with water
• Most conveniently with meals, at regular times of the day
• Do not exceed the recommended serving by the manufacturer

Tulasi is sometimes consumed as an infusion of dried leaves, which is a completely different way of using this plant than a tablet with extract. If you were looking for tea, this product will not replace it and is not intended for that purpose. For prolonged use, determine the length of the treatment and any breaks with a specialist - the manufacturer qualifies its scheme with the note “or as directed by a physician”. When taking medications regularly, consult the use of herbal preparations with a specialist; Himalaya treats such advice as paramount over its own scheme.

For whom

This is a product for someone who wants a single raw material in a repeatable quantity and chooses a tablet instead of an infusion or powder. Tulasi is usually purchased in one of three forms: as dried leaves for brewing, as powdered herb, and as an extract in tablet form - the latter is the easiest for daily use, as it does not require measuring or brewing. The formula is declared as fully vegetarian and sugar-free. The tablet is also the least troublesome when traveling: it does not need a kettle, strainer, or space for a jar of dried herbs, so the package can go in carry-on luggage and return untouched. The product is not intended for children; pregnant and breastfeeding women are advised to consult a physician before starting use.

Frequently asked questions

How much extract is in one tablet?

The manufacturer declares 250 mg of extract from the aerial parts of Ocimum sanctum in one tablet. Besides it, the formulation contains only excipients. The package contains 60 tablets, and the declared amount of extract is the same in each of them, so one tablet from the box corresponds to any other, and you simply count the serving by the number of pieces.

Is tulasi the same basil as in the kitchen?

No. Holy basil and common basil belong to the same genus, but they are two different species, with different aromas and different uses. The English commercial name “holy basil” refers to the same species as tulasi. On the label, look for the Latin name Ocimum sanctum, as it is what matters, not just the word “basil” in the description.

From which part of the plant is the extract made?

From the aerial parts, meaning from the entire plant above ground, not just the leaf - this is how the manufacturer states it on their card. This is important when comparing brands, as many tulasi preparations are made solely from leaves. Different parts of the plant are different raw materials, and the number of milligrams does not make them interchangeable.

Is the product vegetarian?

Yes. Himalaya describes the formula as 100% vegetarian and separately declares the absence of sugar, artificial colors, artificial flavors, and preservatives. If you have food allergies, check the label on the package before first use - that is where allergen information applicable to a specific batch is found, and in case of doubts, ask the seller.

Variants and category

The product is sold in one package size, exclusively in tablets. In the same Ayurvedic line from Himalaya, there are also Himalaya Guduchi and Himalaya Amalaki in tablets - these are separate raw materials with their own compositions and dosing, not variants of the same recipe. We have gathered all of them in the Supplements category.
